YES group All Under One Banner (AUOB) is looking for volunteers to help steward a march for Scottish independence in Glasgow on May 14.
AUOB is hosting two Zoom meetings for people interested in helping out at the event.
The first is on Thursday May 5 between 6.30pm and 7.30pm and the second is a week later on Thursday May 12 at the same time.
Giving some details on the meetings, the AUOB tweeted: “Chief Steward will chair the meeting and our experienced team will answer any questions and provide all key information, so everyone is aware and prepared for what's involved in executing the straightforward, enjoyable role of being a steward on the day."

The group is also inviting independence supporters to join them on the steps of the Buchanan Galleries on Saturday May 7 between 1pm and 3pm to hand out leaflets and posters for the event.
A link to the Facebook event for the flyer handout can be found here.
The May 14 event will set off from Kelvingrove Park at 12pm and make its way through the centre of Glasgow, finishing in George Square. Organisers hope to promote the defence of the NHS in tandem with Scottish independence.
Writing on Twitter, the group said: “Defending our NHS is a clear and present reason to take to the streets of Glasgow on 14 May. Defending our NHS is a call for boots on the ground to declare our opposition to the rotten, unequal Union, and express our powerful demand for independence now.”
AUOB has also publicly thanked the Scottish Independence Foundation for funding the march.
It wrote on Twitter: "We wish to thank the Scottish Independence Foundation for funding the March for independence - defend our NHS demonstration at Glasgow on 14 May - now fully funded by SIF."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
